An adhesive tape comprises a base sheet of a polypropylene resin, an adhesive layer formed on one side of the base sheet and a roughened surface layer formed on the other side of the base sheet and composed of a polypropylene resin containing fine inorganic filler particles, in which the roughened surface layer has a thickness of not more than the maximum particle diameter of said fine inorganic filler particles and is substantially free from voids or cracks, and the total percent light transmittance of the tape is at least 90%. Such an adhesive tape is produced by a process which comprises forming an adhesive layer on one side of a base sheet of a polypropylene resin and a surface layer of a polypropylene resin having a melting point lower than that of the polypropylene resin of the base sheet and containing fine inorganic filler particles, on the other side of the base sheet to obtain an unstretched laminated sheet, and then stretching the laminated sheet at a temperature of at least the melting point of the polypropylene resin of the surface layer to bring the thickness of the surface layer to be not more than the maximum particle diameter of said fine inorganic filler particles.
An adhesive tape comprising a base sheet of a polypropylene resin, an adhesive layer formed on one side of the base sheet and a roughened surface layer formed on the other side of the base sheet and composed of from 25-85% by weight of a polypropylene resin (X) having a melting point lower than that of said base sheet resin, from 10 to 50% by weight of fine inorganic filler particles (Y) and from 5-45% by weight of one or more resins (Z) selected from the group consisting of a methylpentene polymer, a polystyrene, a polyalkyl methacrylate and a polyester, provided that the total of the components (X), (Y) and (Z) is always 100% by weight and the amount of the component (Z) is not more than the amount of the component (X), and the relative specular glossiness of the roughened surface layer is not more than 30%, characterized in that said roughened surface layer has a thickness of not more than the maximum particle diameter of said fine inorganic filler particles and is substantially free from voids and cracks, and the total percent light transmittance of the adhesive tape is at least 90%.
